We actually want the printf format checker, but we don't want it to
emit calls to puts() when it sees printf with nothing but a string
constant.

So, how does this work in GCC? If you expressly use a __builtin_*() version
of a function, will it still emit a call to e.g. memcpy() if it can't emit
an inline optimized block move?
